As with any business you must maintain your core business values, whatever they may be.<br /><br />The Brady bunch are in the business of collecting money, not for an end to gun violence, but for power and influence. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is in the business of collecting money for not puppies and kittens... that's right, power and influence.<br /><br />Salaries have to be paid, social standing maintained.<br /><br />If the Brady bunch really wanted to stop gun violence, they would be marching for better education, government accountability, law enforcement and judicial reform. If they just wanted to save lives, they could just concentrate on teen driving, fast foods, or heart disease. There's a good one 900,000 people die every year in the US from heart disease. In 2005 (quickest statistic I could find) there were 10,100 homicides. Fatal Crashes in the US for 2007 37,250. <br /><br />The Brady bunch are in it for the money, it is just like any other business. There are probably some very well intentioned but uninformed folks who's efforts would be better used to combat real problems in this great Nation.<br /><br /> Regards,<br />Albert<br /><A HREF="http://trochronicles.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles</A><A HREF="http://trrtactical.blogspot.com%20/" REL="nofollow">The Range Reviews: Tactical</A><A HREF="http://outdoorbloggerssummit.com/" REL="nofollow">Proud Member of Outdoor Bloggers Summit</A>Albert A Raschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431765456546701021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148719993180036093.post-58880849327728316732009-04-16T14:35:00.000-04:002009-04-16T14:35:00.000-04:00Take 2...

No guns in DC, yet, despite Heller. No guns allowed in their offices, I am sure. But they have security guards/concierges to keep them safe. <br /><br />One would have thought where they are in complete control of the environment and in a larger surrounding environment exactly in step with their recommended policies that they claim will make us all safer, they would have enough faith in their position to not need hired security.<br /><br />What happened? Does good sense infect them in that one address but eludes them elsewhere or is it just their unintended statement of their sense of comparable worth between themselves and "ordinary" citizens? I suspect the latter.straightarrownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148719993180036093.post-2649461113018106862009-04-16T12:42:00.000-04:002009-04-16T12:42:00.000-04:00Al Jazeera isn't Saudi state TV, it's in Qatar or ...Al Jazeera isn't Saudi state TV, it's in Qatar or Bahrain or something, I forget.

Under...W. Richards,<br /><br />I appreciate the sentiment. <br /><br />Understand this: I will continue to fight them tooth and nail on policy issues. I will do everything that I can do, in my meager way, to beat them fairly by winning the opinions of the voters. I will argue their emotion with my logic. I will argue my statistics against their feelings. In short, I will win. But, I will do so fairly even if they do not.<br /><br />Taking the high road and honoring a reasonable request (that doesn't infringe my rights), even if it is by a group that we feel is unreasonable, is the right thing to do. <br /><br />Even though their policy position has the probability of making me less safe when implemented, I will not knowingly and overtly make them less safe by my actions here.<br /><br />A teaspoon of sugar, and all that...<br /><br />Pax,<br /><br />NewbiusNewbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501998014769060130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148719993180036093.post-87754126207147018382009-04-16T10:38:00.000-04:002009-04-16T10:38:00.000-04:00"In the interest of fair play and good sportsmansh..."In the interest of fair play and good sportsmanship" From the Brady campaign?

It looked to me like they were covering the Tea Party in Atlanta (it was sunny there), near their headquarters.<br /><br />No such coverage in DC. Maybe the rain kept them away from a good story.<br /><br />I did note that some pinhead tossed some tea onto the White House lawn shortly after we left the area. Of course, this led to a lock-down of the entire block while the bomb-sniffing (tea sniffing?) robot opened the box. Nothing dangerous, of course, but you can never be TOO careful.<br /><br />Nothing like living a danger-free life... < yawn ><br /><br />NewbiusNewbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501998014769060130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148719993180036093.post-14605409393831346802009-04-15T23:06:00.000-04:002009-04-15T23:06:00.000-04:00Just so you know, you WERE covered by another majo...Just so you know, you WERE covered by another major news network, CNN. They said you guys were a minority, but a big minoriy, and the live chat they had titled it under was "Political Debate...or worse?". <br /><br />They also covered the stockpiling of firearms, showing NRA membership and Background checks going up over the past year, as well as talking about if this fear is rational or not, showed the clip saying Obama will not take away their guns, but SoS Clinton wanted to continue to push Gun Legislation. Obama also said that it's not a fight he wants to get into right now, so I infer that he means to get into it at some later point in time.Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00914040123062286638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148719993180036093.post-72994584897209982972009-04-15T21:35:00.000-04:002009-04-15T21:35:00.000-04:00Brady Webmaster,
